After Microsoft's extortion racket has failed to stop Android, and after Oracle's crazy baseless lawsuit failed to stop Android, and after Nokia adopting Windows Phone failed to stop Android, Microsoft, Nokia, and Oracle are now grasping the next straw in their fruitless efforts to stop Android: they've filed an antitrust complaint with the EU, claiming Google unfairly bundles applications with Android.

Okay, the theory sounds better. In practice, though, there are always ways to present damage to competitors as potential damage to customers, usually in the form of reduced choice as competitors go out of business.

If trouble for a company which serves the consumer better does arise from EU competition law, then the law is broken and does not achieve its actual intent but rather the opposite.

Exactly, and I don't think it can be fixed. IMO, once you abandon respect for private property and contract in favor of nebulous concepts of market dominance, anything goes.

The Open Handset Alliance (and hence Google) would therefore have excellent grounds for appeal in the event of a (wrong-way, against the intent, about-face) decision against them in respect of this complaint from Microsoft, Nokia and Oracle.

From the fact that the law is broken, it doesn't follow that the appeal would succeed. Broken laws lead to broken results, until the law is changed. I do agree that, in this case, the complaints seem to be without merit, even within the current legal framework. I don't see the EU siding with Microsoft against open source.
